Coherent detection uses a laser at the receiver, called the local oscillator, to tune into the frequency of interest, and can decode information in both amplitude and phase dimensions. Various modulation schemes can then be used, which increase the bits per symbol in the capacity. Principal setup of the coherent receiver frontend Innovations for the digital society of the future are the focus of research and development work at the Fraunhofer HHI. Due to limitations in space, it focuses mainly on coherent optical systems usin major milestone in long-haul transmission [1, 2]. These new concepts also support compensation for chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) via digital signal. Abstract: The drive for higher performance in optical fiber systems has renewed interest in coherent detection. We compare modulation methods encoding information in.
